you'll see more ads that are anti-obama and pro-obama. this one month is not going to tell us a whole lot about fundraising in the campaign. >> mitt romney has more cash on hand, we should say, but the obama campaign has spent more up until now. take a look at the numbers. through july, barack obama, $481.5 million. romney, $325.9. so you have these two different strategies really. you have the obama campaign, spend early, define your opponent. the romney campaign seems to be let's do a late blitz when they think it will matter the most. is it clear who's right? >> it's not clear who's right. it does seem as though both of them are going to have whatever it takes to spend in those handful of battleground states. we have to assume that the so called playing field is going to get narrower as the election gets closer, not broader. i don't think that either side is keeping money in reserve to suddenly go into states that they didn't think that they were going to be contesting. i think that this is to echo what perry said a second ago, this is

so president obama can be a poet. there's a kind of speech he gives particularly his eulogies that are all poetry and take you through these emotional chords of american history. he's a writer so he speaks as a writer and participates in writing his speech which is unusual for a politician. and he has this poetic and almost dramatic sort of sense. that was not the kind of speech he gave tonight. this was president obama saying i sat in that office and i want you to listen to me because i'm warning you because i know it from inside the job that there's a danger here. this was the speech that obama has given throughout all of the speeches i've read or watched that absolutely did feel like the most of a warning. and i think it was warning about the potential end of america. and that seems dramatic when people say it and people throw around if we have four more years of trump the country will end, but there is a fundamental sense that if you break every institution that made it possible for there to be a barack obama it w
